SC Concealed Weapons / Open Carry Permit
**Class and Indoor Range in same location**
Our range time is done on a 1 on 1 basis. We have a one lane closed door range that holds 1 student and instructor at a time. This makes it easier for the instructor to make sure our students are handling the firearm properly and safely and makes sure the student is confident and competent with the firearm. There are no other students watching while you're qualifying on the range, this helps new shooters feel more comfortable and we can hands on cover the shooting fundamentals with new shooters as well.
We have been teaching SC CWP classes since 2008 and have had over 3 thousand students come through our SC CWP classes. We strive to keep up with all the SC laws and cases dealing with it. The laws tend to be a bit gray on the surface and we strive to stay up to date on all the legal aspects to keep our students informed and safe not only physically but legally as well.

If you can't remember the last time you cleaned and lubed your firearm you will need to rent ours. This is to insure a safe and proper working firearm is being used with a reduced chance of malfunctions.

Digitally Processed
There is no charge for this service.
You'll go online to https://www.identogo.com/locations/south-carolina, click on the digital fingerprinting portion, select schedule a new appointment, select CWP application, select new application, follow the instruction and make an appointment to one of several Identogo locations and have your fingerprints and packet digitally processed.
You can set up the appointment once you take the class and have all your paperwork form the instructor. They process your fingerprints and paperwork digitally and it sends directly to SLED. Students that take the class after August 15th 2021 will have no charge to them for this service. This is a much faster and simpler way in the long run and we highly suggest going this route.

A Little About the Class
We have been teaching CWP classes since 2008. Our CWP classes are taught based on the NRA basic pistol instructions with a huge emphasis on SAFETY! We approach the class as though students have never worked with pistols. This approach ensures that everyone receives all the information they need to safely utilize pistols.You will be taught everything you need to know about handling, carrying, cleaning, storing, and using the pistol safely even in a defensive situation. You will know the SC Gun Laws and how to carry your firearm legally with your CWP. We instruct on what you need to know about defending yourselves, 21ft rule, tunnel vision, utilizing perceptive regression, ballistics, stopping power (what's hype & what's not), where to shoot, where not to shoot, and what you need to do to prepare for the courtroom if it comes to a trial. It is not only our job but our personal goal to make sure you are confident and proficient in handling and carrying your firearm!
We have a 6ft x 8ft projector screen set up with power point with lots of slides, pics and videos to help in instruction so you will get the most out of the classes. We provide you with a SC CWP packet with all the CWP laws and more.
Our Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) classes are held in Anderson SC at a very convenient location. Our classroom and range are indoor and climate controlled at the same location so you stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter and don't have to go to 2 different places. We run our classes rain, shine, hot, or cold!
We strive to make obtaining your CWP as easy, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible
